I am a research and development scientist with over 20 years experience in academic and pharmaceutical industry research. I have worked extensively in the development of scientific concepts in biomedicine and pharmaceutical products within Biotechnology and novel cell and gene therapies. Over the past 20 years I have worked as an independent researcher, industry researcher and collaborator to multiple research projects spanning a wide variety of scientific disciplines in academia and industry. Currently, I work as a freelance grant writer for the University of Chicago Pediatrics and Medicine department. I am fast and efficient, creative and deliver my work on time. I can develop your storyline or follow strict orders of your ideas for a solid argumentation. I am familiar with grant application processes and the language that gets your grants funded. I am also team oriented but also work well on my own. I am fascinated by ideas and concepts that can develop or reveal unknown information.Looking forward to working along side people with vision to find the funds that make them a reality.
